To say I am enjoying this fall would be an understatement. Well, the weather. For sure and of course. It doesn’t hurt that it has been unseasonably warm and lovely. In other ways, it has been a month of challenge – of ups and downs…as I mentioned on my Instagram. The exercise of joining Heather… Read More Share Four Somethings: October 2020
This October has been one of ups and downs. Not only in the temperatures (one day true fall and the next it feels like spring!) but also in my mood and my motivation. Including my motivation for posting. Sigh. No need for specifics, but October has been a struggle…and the struggle has been real! This… Read More Fall Comfort Food: Chowder and Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Live in the present. Have you noticed that “being mindful” or “living in the present” is very trendy lately? I hear (or read) the reminders and the admonitions almost everywhere. It seems f the phrase or idea is used to validate just about any everyday choice – from the worthwhile to the ridiculous. But that… Read More Let the Past Have Its Place
Friday – and time for another Five Minute Friday which is just about all I have time for this morning. Five minutes. And today’s prompt is: HELP. When I read it, I immediately began humming. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord… Read More Lift Your Eyes Unto the Hills
Already a week into October! Autumn, for sure. Helloooo sweater weather. Boy, do I love you:) I have not yet worn tights…but, soon. Very soon. I love my tights as much as I do sweaters. And flannel loungewear. And cute sweatshirts. You get the idea. Clothes are just so comfy in the fall. But this… Read More Currently: October 2020
Never-ending road construction. Non-stop traffic. Noise, crowds, congestion, litter (oh, the annoying litter)…and the seeming obsession to cut down trees. Truthfully, this is what comes to mind if I were asked to describe a drive through my county. I have said – way more often than has ever been necessary – that I do not… Read More Don’t Miss The Cows – and Other Great Things
Apparently, it is National Coffee Day. Who knew and where does the committee meet that comes up with these things? Or, perhaps, you simply have a passion for something and declare a national day for it? Hmmm. I thought I would put a picture of my morning cup of coffee – filled literally to the… Read More A Good Day
Fall has officially arrived. The sun is taking longer to show up in the morning….which only makes me slower in getting started as well. And, while the days are so gorgeous, the evening temps certainly are feeling like fall. Even my mindset seems to have turned to fall. I’m a bit of a homebody anyway… Read More Share Four Somethings: September 2020
Well, hello Fall! You’ve been teasing us for days not but now it’s official. The first day of fall 🙂 And, apparently, time to think about your fall bucket list. Assuming, of course, you have a fall bucket list. I typically do not. I think it is this empty-nest season and the bucket list items… Read More A Bucket List: Fall 2020
David. There is so much to love about David. From the boy David who fights the giant….to the anointed David constantly pursued by Saul…and then King David whom God would describe as “a man after mine own heart.” I have been reading I and II Samuel during my morning devotions over the last weeks and… Read More Some Thoughts on Avoiding Temptation
